 Every bad evaluation is not, "Waaaaa!!! I got a bad grade!!! I'm gonna tell my momma!!!"

 

No, but there is on the whole plenty of statistical evidence that "bad evaluations on the whole" = "students getting bad grades on the whole."  I'm too lazy to look up actual studies, but this is a known thing, discussed endlessly on Chronicle, etc.  The only other known factor a prof/TA can control is how well he or she does on the first day.  First impressions also translate directly into evals.  So make that first day the best day of your teaching life.
